Question

5. Identify the correct statement i que
in relation to the following
reaction: Zn + 2HCI ------> ZnCl2
+ H2
O
Zinc is acting as an oxidant
Chlorine is acting as a reductant
Hydrogen ion is not acting as an
oxidant
O a
Zinc is acting as a reductant
O इतरः​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Some metals react with acid and replace hydrogen from the acid.

since they are more reactive than hydrogen in the electro - chemical reactivity series.

so here Zinc is acting as reducing agent or called reductant.

and Hydrogen ion is acting as an oxidant.

so both option (c) and (d) are correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Identify the correct statement(s) in relation to the following reaction:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

(a) Zinc is acting as an oxidant.

(b) Chlorine is acting as a reductant.

(c) Hydrogen ion is acting as an oxidant.

(d) Zinc is acting as a reductantSome metals react with acid and replace hydrogen from the acid.

since they are more reactive than hydrogen in the electro - chemical reactivity series.

so here Zinc is acting as reducing agent or called reductant.

and Hydrogen ion is acting as an oxidant.

so both option (c) and (d) are correct.
